Releasenotes: This Austin,Texas band seems to have come out of nowhere
Releasenotes: with their 2006 debut, Age Of Winters, and have drawn
Releasenotes: several rave reviews by critics declaring this band one of
Releasenotes: those Next Big Things in metal. Stylistically, The Sword
Releasenotes: isn’t doing anything new – Black Sabbath-styled riffs are
Releasenotes: all over the place, and doom is the prime style here, albeit
Releasenotes: far removed from the 80’s-styled doom bands such as
Releasenotes: Candlemass. In general the songs are rather loose, almost a
Releasenotes: garage-y feel even though the production suggests otherwise.
Releasenotes: There are clear stoner influences on some of the more
Releasenotes: uptempo numbers, though this is not a stoner band so much as
Releasenotes: a doom band with some stonerisms, somewhat in the same
Releasenotes: ballpark as bands such as Sleep or maybe Orange Goblin. The
Releasenotes: band has taken some heat from underground fans who feel
Releasenotes: that, by quickly debuting on what is essentially a major
Releasenotes: label (Kemado is an indie, but one that is
Releasenotes: major-label-financed), they haven’t “paid their dues”
Releasenotes: (really, should this matter at all?). When all is said and
Releasenotes: done, Age Of Winters may not be the ultimate masterpiece as
Releasenotes: some say, but it’s clearly a solid 70’s-influenced doom
Releasenotes: album.
